Located near Marketplace 88, this recently open curry house offers, to my opinion, Chinese-style fish curry and other dishes. The fish curry is made to order, so you can choose your fish from the display chiller at the counter — Red Snapper, grouper, white fish; fish head, meat or tail. If I'm not mistaken, each portion of the fish curry is RM60, big enough for 3 pax.

I liked the Pakis Goreng Belacan and Fried Bittergourd with Salted Egg too!

I bet some of you already know that the famous Sailors Cafe has a new owner now, as Chef Firdaous appeared in a few occasions eg. magazine and radio show. And of course, some of your favourite Instagrammers and bloggers have mentioned it too!

I strongly recommend fish dish at Sailors Cafe, because this is what they very good at. If budget is allowed, do give it a try on anything on the black board! These are slightly different menu, most are French, or French-influenced, which require skillful technique. The special menu on the black board change regularly, compare to the fix menu.

Chicken Clinic don't prescribe medication to birds, but boneless (and skinless) fried chicken and a nos of chili sauce with different level of spiciness (Level 1-5; 1 less spicy, 5 extremely spicy). Food is served on a stainless steel tray, which comes with a forceps and syringe -- perhaps it is not 100% hospital-theme: we are missing of kidney dish for the salads, surgical blades and blood bags.

If you are a Hainanese Chicken Rice lover, do give this a try. Choose from "normal" chicken or "Free Range", and pick your favourite parts of meat. Free range chicken is softer than expected, good soy sauce and fragrant oily rice — not too salty, which I really appreciate much.

Nasi Kukus is originally from Kelantan and became trendy in Klang Valley area 6-7 years ago. To me, it seems like a fixed version of nasi berlauk or nasi campur. HAHA!

Rice is soaked in water, rinsed, and is placed in a small aluminum bowl (portion enough for one person), and steamed for 20 minutes. The steamed rice should be fluffy and chewy, then drizzled with spoonful of curry, some pineapple chutney, and a piece of spiced fried chicken (ayam goreng berempah).

Nasi Kukus D'Garden is located at Chong Thien Vun Park, just next to KK High Court. The spiced fried chicken is cooked on the spot so you are guaranteed with crispy skin fried chicken, yum! Downside is the oily fume from the open air kitchen might stick on the cloths when you dine here!

For me, the factors which make a good Nasi Kukus is:
Rice > Fried Chicken > Curry > Pineapple Chutney

Do you agree with me? 😁

Nasi Kukus with Fried Chicken and add-on Telur Bawang

They are serving Nasi Lemak Kukus too! The sambal is a bit too salty to my liking, but nevertheless the nasi lemak is still yummy with the same Ayam Goreng Berempah and lots of ikan bilis

Finally we make it to the cafe in Melbourne after tasting their coffee in +INCH Coffee , Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Dukes is one of the established coffee roasters in Melbourne well represent the city's coffee culture. Thanks to the conveniences of the online store, local cafe like INCH and home brewer like me are able to sample Melbourne coffee at our home country. Well, nothing beat the experience of visiting the actual cafe which you are already "familiar" with, unfortunately during our visit we are in rush and the cafe was too busy. We only managed to sample a cappuccino and Honduras Olvin Fernandez on batch brew.

All cafe we went in Melbourne were very very crowded, and among all, Dukes and the League of Honest Coffee probably had the highest number of people in-queue (Higher Ground was very crowded too but the people there were waiting for the table)! The city's landmark -- Flinders Street Station is within walking distance to the cafe.

Slater Street Bench is a small coffee bar serving specialty coffee at St. Kilda Road, the Albert Park Lake (remember the racing track of Formula 1 Grand Prix?) is just a stone's throw away! We took a tram from Melbourne's iconic Fed Square and head south to Slater Street (Stop 23) in just merely a 10 minutes tram ride. The cafe is right in front of the tram line.

The cafe looks very clean and simple, almost everything in here is wooden, black or white. Menu are simple too. They make filter coffee using V60 (Australian's representative to the 2016 Dublin World Brewers Cup Competition, Devin Loong works here as head barista), milk coffee, as well as others non-coffee baverages.
